I had a lot to do while I was banned for the day so I finally read through all of Gotham Central. Holy shit, that last issue hit me like a bullet right in the back. I did not see any of that coming. Ed Brubaker is a miserable sonuvabitch for doing that to his readers.

I'm sorry, I think my eyes just stabbed themselves. What context was that image supposed to be in regarding the comics?

Well, Brian, I guess being replaced by Gail Simone isn't the worst thing in the world.

But not having her write Birds of Prey and some guy named Duane Swierczynski doing it just might be.

Actually it was the best ending ever, which was later ruined by bringing some of those characters back in later Batman series and having whatshisname's kid shoot Corrigan to death. As for Montoya, she became a private detective and then The Question which was kind of stupid, as well. Not a bad idea I guess if you just have to keep using old characters instead of letting their dramatic exits remain dramatic exits.

EDIT: Brubaker is writing the new Punisher series. I'm getting it just based on that mere fact.

What book was that in? Because I'm very interested in reading that.

I always wondered what the hell happened to Montoya because one day she's a drunk and the next I'm reading a Batwoman book (at least I think it was Batwoman but I'm not sure) and she shows up as The Question. Was this something that happened during 52? Cause I've been looking for a reason to read that.

But once again, holy shit! I did not read a single issue throughout the entire forty issue series that I didn't like. I pray to god that the Batman television show they're supposedly planning after TDKR is Gotham Central.

There was basically a plan to just go ahead and do a Gotham Central show back when it was originally coming out and both the creators and TV execs were on board with it and it looked like it was totally going to happen. BUT Batman Begins coming out put a nix on it because Warner Brothers/DC didn't want to have a TV series on at the same time as this current Bat trilogy was playing itself out. This is also the reason The Graysons was given the axe (other than it being a really dumb idea, of course, but that hasn't stopped them before), they don't want to have a live-action Batman TV show at the same time these movies are coming out.

As for "bad issues", the only bad one was the rather forced one that played into Infinite Crisis and had nothing to do with the overall storyline at all in any way shape or form. Also it kind of jumped from "police like Batman" to "police don't like Batman" from one issue to the next because War Drums came out in that interim as well. Those are the only two times I felt the narrative suffered and it is still easily one of the best if not the best comic series of all time.

As for where those things with Montoya and whasthisname's son happened you will have to look on Wikipedia as that is where I read about the happenings. I did not read those actual comics because again I thought it was really dumb to bring those characters back in that manner.
